The Scientific Revolution in Global Perspective is a cutting-edge history of science that adopts an impressively broad scope, not only geographically, but historiographically as well...The book fill an unexploited niche and draws on cutting-edge scholarship in the process."
Andrew Keitt, University of Alabama at Birmingham
The Scientific Revolution in Global Perspective is a clearly written text, ... Read morerich with examples, that broadens the social context of the development of early modern western science. It places the major currents of the Scientific Revolution within the larger world of European trade and expansion and the use of new knowledge. In so doing, it reveals the wider motivations and global connections of scientific innovation."
William Kimler, North Carolina State University
The integration of the global context is both convincing and seamless, creating an inviting narrative from which students will gain new perspective on the history of science and, in doing so, a new appreciation for the origins of the global, technological world around them."
